The Philadelphia Orchestra Comes to Sarasota's Van Wezel, 2/9

The Philadelphia Orchestra, with Musical Director Yannick Nezet-Seguin, Conductor Rafael Fruhbeck de Burgos, and Soloist Andre Watts (Piano) will be at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall on February 9, 2013.

The Philadelphia enters 2013 with a vibrant new Musical Director, Yannick Nezet-Seguin, who has been making significant waves and garnering some of the best reviews that the Philadelphia Orchestra has received in recent history. Critics have been saying that Yannick is likely going to be exactly what the Philadelphia needs to revitalize itself during one of the lowest points in its existence. The Philadelphia Orchestra is known as one of "The Big 5" orchestras in the world, and with this new blood at the helm, it is poised to restate its position as one of the preeminent orchestras in the world.
